Join us on a journey through the evolution of mapmaking—from cave paintings and ancient world discs to Greek, Chinese, and Islamic advances, through the Age of Exploration and the rise of Mercator, to modern GIS and digital mapping. We'll explore how maps encode knowledge, beliefs, and power, and how technological shifts reshape our view of the planet. Perfect for newcomers curious about how mapmaking reflects our worldview and guides our future.
